SECTION 1
GETTING STARTED
Chapter 1- GENERAL
UniArt is a PC-based, user-friendly SCADA software package intended for
monitoring and controlling DDC/PLC controllers.
UniArt establishes a natural Man Machine Interface (MMI) between the
control staff and the site’s control system.
UniArt is especially designed to monitor and control heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning (HVAC) systems as well as electrical, energy, fire detection,
lighting and extinguishing systems.
The communication server that connects the UniArt to the controller is the
centre of the system. This server sets the communication protocol between
the computer/PC and the controller.
The standard system includes the following items:
• Communication server
• Menu
• Alarm
• Miscellaneous
UniArt uses it’s own database. Each page of the database can contain up to
40 groups and each group can be connected to 80 points.
1.1 Software Installation Instructions
NOTE: Close down all applications already running in Windows as this may conflict with
the set-up procedure.
Insert the CD to the CD drive. The program should run automatically.
If not, follow these steps:
a. Double-click on “My Computer” icon on the Desktop (see Figure 1.01)
b. Double-click on CD-ROM icon
c. Find the UniArt.exe icon and double-click
d. Follow the program’s installation instructions
Double-click on CD-ROM icon

The Active frame at the top of the screen shows the programs that have
been selected and are currently running.
The files under the title File Name are the default items. They include:
appserver.exe 1
mainmenu.exe
alarmrun.exe
trendrun.exe
NOTE: If you are connected via ethernet you must change
appserver.exe 1 to netserve.exe in Create New Item.
The column entitled Wait shows the delay time between running programs
so as to prevent all programs being run together and creating congestion.
The default time is 5 seconds.
The List frame in the middle of the screen shows options that may be added
to the system, such as additional communications ports (use scrollbar when
needed). Once items are selected they will appear in the Active frame.
In order to select/activate a new item:
a. highlight the relevant file from the List frame by clicking on it
b. press the Add button to the right of the List menu.
Items may be removed from the Active frame only. In order to do this,
highlight the relevant file and press the Remove button to the right of the
Active frame.
Advanced users may add items that do not appear as default by using the
Create New Item frame in the lower section of the screen. They may also
set parameter, delay time and priority.
EXAMPLE OF DEFAULT ITEMS:
